People that bandwagon on "tank controls are bad" are misguided. What they really mean to say is "static cameras are bad", although I disagree. Because, ya see...all the newest Resident Evil games have Tank Controls. Most of your favorite first-person shooters have Tank Controls.

Up = ForwardDown = BackRight = Turn RightLeft = Turn Left

The only difference between the old RE games and modern games is the static camera angles, NOT the controls. Thanks for reading!

static cameras are fine, the REmake and RE0 re-releases had 3D movement controls added and played much smoother. and no, most modern shooters do NOT have tank controls. tank controls are when those actions are done on one stick.

Those aren't Tank controls. Leon/Claire have complete free movement. In the past REs pressing left or right only pivoted the character in those directions while up and down controlled forward and backward momentum.

In this game you can move in every direction just by pressing that direction. If you press left now, it'll make Leon walk/run left. Before he'd only turn that direction but wouldn't actually move until your pressed up or down. RE4's controls were more tank than the current ones.

Left and Right have me run in that direction, not turn -- the PC version anyway. I have to swing my mouse around to turn the camera and direction. Maybe if you lock the camera behind you in settings you can have tank controls a la RE4?
